President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim hold a joint press conference in Malaysia on July 26, 2023.— President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Thursday said the territorial dispute over Sabah was not discussed at length during his meetings with top Malaysian leaders, as both Manila and Kuala Lumpur agreed to first tackle"solvable" issues.

Marcos said while the Sabah issue couldn't be avoided, it was mentioned only briefly during their talks. "But what we– I mean, it's clear to all the parties involved na hindi naman ma-dedecide 'yan ngayon," he added. "The consensus is that we just talk about everything else…There's a tacit agreement, at the very least, that we talk about all of the things that are solvable, all the issues that we can actually do, so when the time comes, perhaps we will come back to the issue. I'm sure it will come up again," Marcos said.
